i'ne never actually heard that record other than the two singles

a hoy hoy at the end can you publish what the list would have looked like without any britishes voting?

also, listen to buhloone mindstate, it is a thing of gentle beauty

call it the whiney g whinegarten memorial blud sausage edition

xp

a hoy hoy at the end can you publish what the list would have looked like without any britishes voting?

that would be stupid

yeah fuck off

why stop there; publish what the list would have looked like without any white people voting

I want a full sociological analysis of these results broken down by race, gender, nationality, religion, and economic class

Dizzee beating life after death is crazy. dizzee beating slick rick is crazy

dizzee beating big l is crazy. and i like dizzee!

Would like to point out that "flushing mcs down the loo!!" Is something dizzee actually said once and not something whiney said while mocking britishers

a hoy hoy is proof that being british and having shitty british-y taste in rap are not the same thing

a couple americans voted dizzee too, so don't just go blaming us.

what and you think british people voted for dizzee?

aw shucks

I don't care if you're white black a bitch or a fucking bum off of the streets. If you rap about shooting people, smoking blunts, wearing timbs, drinking hennessy, and whatever else, I'll buy your music. If you rap about your girl, but don't call her a bitch, fuck you. If you rap about the economy and how its hurts migrant workers, fuck you. If you rap about your rap telekenisis or some equally retarded nerd shit, fuck you. That basically how I break it down to an extent.

^^^^ how ethan helped ruin ILM in one post

it's ok, ethan got flushed down the loo

the next record is one that i think will bring smiles to faces

"a couple americans voted dizzee too, so don't just go blaming us."

Someone needs to start Calling Out Names.

I don't care if you're white black a bitch or the fucking bum from The Streets

uh oh symsymsym might wanna look the other way unless he wants an eyeful of bad dental hygiene

OH SHIT

^^^p much my favourite cover in music history and yet i still kinda wanted to post this

http://www.impawards.com/1991/posters/strictly_business.jpg

rankings here are INSANE. deej OTM about the shit that's placing higher than fucking SLICK RICK come on now

to cheer things up a little, here's ODB picking up his food stamps in his limo:

I don't even really dig Biggie but Dizee over him? gtfo

you realize the issue here isn't the quality of the stuff beating Slick Rick, it's that people aren't remembering Slick Rick esp. in the context of albums

Nice one w/ EPMD. My top 30.

lol tpp

also the um, lack of variety here is kinda sad... every Wu album, every De La album, every Madvillain record (what, no KMD? lol). like, the genre is broader than this, guys. I made a conscious effort to not vote for multiple albums by the same act (um lol with a few exceptions like DU! haha) but I guess not too many others felt the same...

it's that people aren't remembering Slick Rick esp. in the context of albums

yeah this is probably true. if some Dizzee song beats out La Di Da Di tho...

I was wondering when EPMD would show up. I had one of their other albums higher in my list but glad to see the debut make it this high.
